G STAR RAM

Think you're taking alot of poetic licence with your summary here. Why is record set piece goals an indicator of physicality? Is it not an indicator of good coaching? From what I can see, we've realised goalkeepers at this level don't like the corners being landed in their 6 yard box and we have exploited that. Where does the CBT not fit enough for 'Warne ball' come from?

You've seen all of the posts that I've quoted. They weren't constructive. They weren't an analysis of the team selection. Just the usual negative claptrap from the usual suspects.

Correct and I'm entitled to my opinion about people jumping on the manager and individuals before a ball has been kicked, that's what a forum is about isn't it? I certainly wasn't gloating about anything, I don't particularly like Bradley. In terms of warranting a place in the team, that is for the manager to judge and, from my point of view, it looks like he made the right call yesterday.

My post was criticising 'supporters' for slating the team, players and the manager before a ball had been kicked. Not sure it is me with the preconceived ideas.

Ah so it was down to Leyton Orient being poor then. Thought it might be. There was literally no objectivity in the pre match posts. Read them and you will see that. Thanks.

The Hourihane free kick was an absolute joke, their player was nowhere near him. How are officials falling for this so easily?!

Reminds me of a modern day Nostradamus with his ability to predict the future if I'm being honest.

Almost forgot to mention, how bad was the linesman by the East Stand first half?!

So the lineup was not the problem, it was the players. If they are not capable of putting changes away it doesn't make any difference what formation we play.

What is the box ticking? She was pretty much head and shoulders above the other referees at our level and was correctly promoted to the level above.

You don't have to apologise to me, everyone is allowed their opinion and I certainly don't believe mine is any more valid than yours. Just think it's sad to see so many of our supporters clearly not enjoying what could turn out to be one of our best seasons, for so many reasons, in the last 50 odd years.

Personally I prefer to judge the team after a performance rather than before it. Don't tend to know the lineup until I get to my seat which is usually a couple of minutes before kick off.

Wasn't going to do it but was awake early, so I thought I would compile a list of the experts from yesterday...

Unfortunately some people are too entrenched in their own opinions to worry about the bigger picture. Think they would have preferred Bradley scoring an own goal today rather than the 2 goals he scored.

I like reading most of your posts, but your first paragraph today is really poor. 2 games to go and promotion in our hands and it still feels like so many of our 'supporters' have personal axes to grind. Very sad times and I'm not sure some of our fans actually deserve the promotion that we may achieve.

No, I think you should be captain, and manager, and chairman if you have the time. I have no doubt with your wisdom at the helm we would have been promoted in February.

Based on?

Ones that have been pretty effective this season.

Because the EFL literally make rules up as they go along?

Yes. Do you think if we get promoted to the Championship we will be using the same players? The ones that have all come through the academy or have been free signings?

But if you are saying we are 2nd inspite of the manager then you are crediting the success to someone else surely? Aren't they the instructions that have got us to 2nd place in the league? I do find your argument a bit confusing. I fully understand that people do not like his brand of football but really don't get it when people say that his management has nothing to do with us being 2nd, I think it's a really weak argument, and if his management had jo bearing on our league position then it seems very strange to criticise him when things don't go well. Seems to be a case of having your cake and eating it.

Done very well to get us in 2nd position if he gets everything wrong. Have you considered the possibility that it may actually be you getting things wrong?

Well if the team is 2nd despite the manager, who else could it be down to?

How come they weren't in his final part season at Rotherham?

And how do you know Warne can not do this. When has he ever had resources to spend in his career before?
